Aside from the deep insight into complex design features, numerical simulation tools reveal the strengths and limitations of SiC technologies. Modelling produces a parametrised multi-dimensional design space. This helps define technology potential and identify best compromise. Statistical analysis of obtained data powered by ML and AI algorithms reveal trends to steer production towards best performance, yield and clear differentiation from competition.
